After reading his reviews online and speaking to him on the phone, we decided to go with Dr. Woods for our wedding officiant and we are glad we did. Michael was there for the rehearsal the day before our wedding which helped put my mind at ease. He helped us select the wording for our ceremony and made changes where we requested them. Michael's volume, tone and clarity were good and he moved through the ceremony at a good pace. After our ceremony we received compliments regarding how well he did.

Michael was very helpful and professional, would definitely recommend!

Rev. Woods is AMAZING! I am so glad we chose him as our officiant. He knows what he's doing, and the ceremony was PERFECT. His demeanor and voice are so calming. He put me and my husband at ease throughout the entire process - and particularly on our wedding day. And his choices for the ceremony format are so helpful and very well written. We had our ceremony outside near a river, and during the middle of it, a boater rudely went by and gunned his engine. It was something that couldn't be ignored, so Rev. Woods made a fun joke of it saying that we couldn't stop the paparazzi from making an appearance. It was the perfect response. Thank you, again, Rev. Woods for making our special day the best it could ever be!! I highly, highly recommend his services!!

We *LOVE* Michael! He did a fantastic job of constantly staying in touch, and making sure that we got what we wanted. He visited with each of us seperately before the ceremony, to talk about what would happen and when. Everything went so smoothly because of him, and several guests approached me afterward to say how beautiful the ceremony was, and how heartfelt and sincere Michael was. I couldn't be happier with our choice to hire him, and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Rev Michael Woods officiated our wedding in Tampa, Florida and did a fantastic job. We were planning the wedding from across the country and he was the only vendor that we met in person, and it was entirely of his own doing. When he happened to be traveling in our neck of the woods, he reached out to let us know and we were able to have a face-to-face, which proved to be a wonderful and fruitful experience. We ended up with a terrific wedding cake based on his bakery recommendation! Additionally, he was a true professional, extremely organized and knowledgeable, something of a comfort in the stressful stages of wedding prep. He delivered the perfect ceremony, customizing it to our wishes and making sure everything ran smoothly. Highly recommended!

There are not enough words I can use to describe the perfection that is Michael Woods! What struck us first is his amazing radio voice! No monotone vocals here, just a voice made for radio. Then, as we began to work with him, his years of experience was obvious. He knew exactly how to provide what we were looking for and threw in his own ideas that we didn't even think of . And when it came to game day, perfection was the name of his game. He took command of the room, and when he opened his mouth, angels fell from the heavens! Seriously, we still have people telling us how awesome he was. And he made our wedding video reach a level of professionalism that you only see in the movies. Thanks again Mike!

The first time we spoke to him on the phone, we immediately felt at ease and we knew that he would be the best person to officiate our wedding. He was pleasant and sincere with his words, and the way he explained to us the different ways we can customize our ceremony was really great. He was very professional and answered many of our questions. On the day of the wedding, Reverend Woods looked very presentable. He truly delivered the ceremony with so much love and sincerity. He allowed us to have the type of ceremony that we envisioned that made our wedding much more special, and we were able to include our guests and loved ones to become a part of the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony, he made sure that our marriage licenses were signed, and he also went to the city hall to file everything. We didn't have to worry about a thing, he already got everything covered. A lot of people told us that we had a really beautiful ceremony, and we thank Reverend Woods for that. We highly recommend him.

Reverend Michael Woods was a pleasure to work with. We met with him prior to booking and he took his time to get to know us and go over our ceremony options. We touched base a few weeks before the big day as well. On the day of the wedding he met with me one-on-one before the ceremony to go over what to expect etc. He is very thorough and passionate about what he does. He also has a great voice that commands attention, and that was important to me and my husband. He is also reasonably priced. We are very happy that we hired him.
